[00:27] Just installed xubuntu, how do I change my screen resolution. I only see default listed [00:28] forces, edit your xorg.conf [00:29] where will I find it? [00:30] !resolution [00:30] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [00:31] thanks [01:04] Hey there. I tired to join the #ubuntu channel and it said I was banned from that channel. Anyway I'm trying to add a sata card after I install ubuntu. I'm pretty novice at ubuntu. I think I need to add a module but not sure how to do it .. is there a way to autoreconize the hardware? [01:04] SuiDog: I think you should ask about the ban on #ubuntu-ops [01:05] ok.. I'll try that [01:05] how about my other question.. any suggestions? [01:06] * TheSheep has no idea [01:11] SuiDog: sounds like a driver issue if it's hardware recognition [01:11] SuiDog: try lspci to see if you can recognize the sata pci card [01:11] SuiDog: then it's off to google to see if others have had problems/solutions for that pci card [01:45] is there a way to have ubuntu auto reconzie new hardware automatically like during install? [01:46] Empathy asks me for my keyring password every time i log on. how do i stop this? [01:56] Hello. Have been doing some load tests on 8.04 on some older p3 boxes to see whats feasible for hardware. One of the tests involves having 4 apps open from last session during next login (Firefox,Pidgin, Abiword and Thunderbird). Oddly: When ram is 384 or less, Thunderbird won't auto load.When ram is 512 it does. Any ideas why? At 385 still not yet using swap. [02:14] sorry no idea [02:14] * bad-wire is a p3 500Mhz with 384MB RAm running ices 0.4 + xchat + darkice when needed [02:15] works fine [02:15] for this, on fluxboix though, xcfe was too heavy for the same usage [02:24] Yes, it's very odd and perplexing [02:25] It will still manually load at the other ram sizes OK, just not automatically. I thought htis might be some memory saving feature [02:32] trying to correct my screen resolution with xrandr. What is the default screen output name? [02:33] 0:0 [02:34] xrandr returned outpt "0:0" not found [02:36] Try perhaps just :0 [02:37] arrrg ... got the same thing "cannot find output ":0"" [02:38] Im a linux noob. Is there a place where the screen name would be listed? [04:02] genii - sorry for the abrupt drop earlier. lost my screen totally. Figured out the xrandr. Now where do I put the xrandr command so they take affect at logon? [04:04] where should I put xrandr commands so they take affect at startup? [04:16] where should I put xrandr commands so they take affect at startup? [04:20] hello [04:20] jello [04:20] fello [04:20] bello [04:20] kello [04:20] mello [04:20] you better fello now or I will mello you out now [04:21] for rela [04:25] rocko? [04:30] what [04:30] sorry wrong channel fortunev [04:32] trying to get some answers on where I should put xrandr instructions to set my screen resolution [04:32] I see [04:33] well it automatically detects the right resolution for me [04:33] in lxde [04:38] I am a noob to linux. where is lxde? [04:41] fortunev: Work occupied me for some time. Apologies. Perhaps see http://wiki.zenwalk.org/index.php?title=HOWTO_Autostart_Programs [04:41] genni - no prob thanks [04:44] Ok. yet another noob question. in xubuntu, how do I login as root? [05:26] hello comrades gaurdro MrNaz fiendishfish welcome to the revolution [05:26] err... hi there [07:05] hey, anyone here? [07:09] guess not... [07:27] Anybody know of a way to disable the touchpad clicker? As in tap the touchpad and it clicks. [08:28] can i run ubuntu tweak in xubuntu? [09:52] Hi do we have any geeks awake please? [09:53] I am trying to copy a folder from a USB drive to /var/www [09:53] And cannot see how to do it [09:53] I have Xubuntu 8.10 [09:55] you need root rights to write to /var/www [09:55] start thunar with 'gksu thunar' for that [09:55] I use sudo [09:57] but the terminal starts at the user directory at the same level as the removable disk, and I cannot see how to get the terminal to see the removable disk [09:58] I don't understand [10:01] in Places there are 5 directories, two of them are the user direvctory, and the removable disk [10:02] When I open a terminal it gives a prompt user@(this computer)$ [10:03] and only sees files and folders inside the User directory [10:04] cd /media/disk [10:04] I am having to reboot as the mouse cursor was not moving [10:06] Last night when I was working on it, and typed "sudo cd /" it told me there was no such command as cd [10:06] but when I did cd without the sudo it was fine [10:06] hi [10:12] TheSheep.. I see the directory I want to copy [10:47] TheSheep. I found a list of terminal commands, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal#File%20&%20Directory%20Commands [10:48] GINZ: why don't you just use thunar? [10:49] I am new to all this [10:49] do I have thunar? [10:51] yes, it's the default file manager [10:51] TheSheep You said "start thunar with 'gksu thunar' for that" what would I do after that? [10:52] IS that what I get when I click Places? [10:52] just navigate to /var/www and dragn-and-drop the files you want? [10:52] In Places I tried drag and drop and the file kept just bouncing back [10:53] you have to open the otherwindow with 'gksu', so it runs as root [10:54] or give your user ownership of /var/www [10:54] I'm having troubles mounting a sony-ericsson phone, fdisk -l does not show it, but I can see it if I do lsusb, couldn't find anything in the forum about this [10:54] or add your user to the www-data group and change the group permissions of /var/www [10:54] sinbox: I don't think ericssons are seen as disks [10:55] sinbox: they use their own protocol for communicating, you will need a special program [10:56] I choose mass storage as thew option when I connected it, it usually auto mounbts when I'm running gnome but right now I am on fluxbox and normally mount usb devices by hand [10:56] Blankthemuffin that sounds a good idea. [10:56] "add your user to the www-data group and change the group permissions of /var/www" can you tell me how please [11:02] Oh I think I remember to add the user etc I need to go into phpmyadmin don;t I [11:04] guess I'll have to log into gnome then :/ [11:58] Hello there [11:58] hello Łukasz [12:04] Is installing "kdelibs" packages harmful to not KDE-native distro? [12:09] LukaszJ, if you use them, your system will be beavier. [12:09] *heavier [12:10] knome: I just do for testing purposes. Remember still my problem with the webcam? [12:10] knome: Hello, BTW :) [12:10] yeah. [12:14] actually, just installing the libraries will only make it use more disk space, as expected [12:15] TheSheep: No other problems then? [12:15] running continously a program that uses them will use some ram, also as expected [12:16] I think some of the kde services start when needed and keep running afterwards [12:16] so that also can affect performance a little, especially if you're low on ram [12:17] I just ran kopete to test my webcam out, it's not so bad after all. [12:31] Hi again [13:17] fucking snow [13:17] ww [13:18] tsktsk with the language [13:18] not to mention offtopicness [14:50] somebody care and guide me how to record sound with "sound recorder"?

[19:35] I can update via apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [19:35] but still no go with update manager [19:35] I am using xubuntu 8.10 [19:40] well it will let me click on the update and to go through it but it does it but does not install === danopia__ is now known as danopia [19:46] all: anybody know about running some sort of xubuntu on an original xbox? all the tutorials and info i find on the internet is so vague [19:53] all: I'm really interested in being able to buy a little machine for $50 bucks, spend some time with it and run linux. anybody know anything? [19:53] I suppose you'll want to look for second-hand machines [19:54] InvaderZim just one WORD [19:54] FREEGEEKCHICAGO [19:54] InvaderZim http://freegeekchicago.org/ [19:54] they do shipping [19:54] someone sent me a file called foo.xml.pgp and their public key called foo.asc. i imported their foo.asc into my gpg keyring but when i try to decrypt the file with gpg --decrypt foo.xml.pgp i get an error 'gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit ELG-E key ... decryption failed: secret key not available'. any ideas? [19:55] best to contact them about it through their mailing list email address talk@freegeekchicago.org InvaderZim [19:58] rocko: cool link! but i kind of wanted to do it myself. i'm new to computers, and to linux especially. it sounded like fun to go to gamestop, plunk down $50 and then take it home and load my own OS and stuff [20:00] How do you browse the local network with xubuntu? [20:01] You'd have to install an app for that - I believe a lot of people use pyNeighborhood [20:02] vinnl, thanks, I will try to get that installed. I like how quick and lite xfce is on my laptop.. I can probably get about 2-3 years out of it now. [20:02] ^.^ [20:21] I see InvaderZim [20:24] rocko: yeah, I'm an excited noob. I've been looking around some more and some people say gentoox is better. but it needs to be a modded xbox. don't know if that means hard modded or soft modded [20:24] I see [20:33] freenode rules [21:00] IRC problem, I keep getting the same error box every few seconds.

[22:51] http://psubuntu.com/ [22:52] yeah, the installation is for 8.10, but not the fixes [22:52] have you read this? [22:53] i see. [22:53] you could try aksing in #ubuntu-ps3 [22:53] the fixes for BT acc are for 7.10 [22:53] good idea [22:53] thanks
